Thanks to everyone for the great suggestions. I am still trying to get a little more information on the extent of the engine so I can make an educated decision. I have talked to the place where Center RV sends their engine work and they are willing to at least do some further engine diagnosis but they are not equipped to do any serious engine work as they don't have the equipment to get an engine out of a class A. I will keep Reliable Auto in mind but I am not sure I want to incur the towing expense to Altoona until I get a better idea of what's going on. If it really does need major engine work, you will probably see a classified posting soon for a "project" as it just isn't worth putting that kind of money into it.
What is interesting to me is that the engine is the last thing I expected to go on this thing. We've had issues with and replaced lots of other things but I always felt the engine was strong and I have taken good care of it. The engine mechanic I talked to did say that the way they are installed in most motorhomes tends to retain the heat a lot more than it would on a box truck or van.
